Convenience store, customer robbed at gunpoint

A convenience store in the West Park neighborhood was robbed early Saturday morning by two men, San Diego police said.

At 2:40 a.m., a man pulled a gun from his waistband as the clerk opened the register in the store at Spruce Street and Fifth Avenue, according to a police report. A second man gathered the cash.

They also riffled through the purse of a woman they found hiding near an ATM machine, taking an undisclosed amount of cash.

The assailants fled west on Spruce Street on foot.

One was described as a black male in his mid-30s, 5 feet 8 inches tall and of medium build. He wore a black baseball cap, white-and-blue shirt and black pants. The other was a balding black male of the same height, weighing 150 pounds, in his 30s who wore a gray hooded sweatshirt.
